Hatchlands Local Governing Body
Carrie Shaw
Chair of the Local Governing Body (LGB)
Appointed LGBM
"I have lived in the area all my adult life. My three children attended schools in Reigate and now three
of my grandchildren attend schools in the Borough. Having retired from a career in property law, I
was keen to play a part in the local community and apply myself in a different environment to the
benefit, I hope, of others. I joined the LGB at the start of the Covid pandemic and I have been so
impressed by the hard work, dedication, enthusiasm and kindness of everyone involved with
Hatchlands. The school really does have the children at its heart. I look forward to playing my part in
its development."
Stuart Anderson
Parent elected LGBM
"In the time our son has been at Hatchlands, we have been impressed by the professionalism,
flexibility and enthusiasm of everyone at Hatchlands, particularly given the challenges of setting up a
new school during Covid. I wanted to join the LGB to try to make a positive contribution to the
school, and also to have an opportunity to give back to the local area. Given the opening of the new
school building this year, I’m sure it will be a very interesting time!
I’m really looking forward to learning more about Hatchlands, the Everychild Partnership Trust,
visiting the school when appropriate; speaking to and getting to know the teachers, the other
LGBMs and the Hatchlands community."
Caroline Blake
Parent elected LGBM
"I have been a parent of Hatchlands since it opened in 2018 and fully support the development of a
new school. It has been a pleasure to be part of the school in its evolving journey, and whilst not
always an easy one seeing the passion and dedication from the staff that have helped the school
grow is an experience not many parents get to see. I now have 2 children within the school and
wanted to join the LGB to further support the future direction of Hatchlands and help where I can to
make it the best possible school for the children attending and those joining in the future."
Netti Lawrence
Appointed LGBM
"I have taught in the area for all my adult life, firstly in infant schools, moving into special education
and finally teaching 1:1 children who were experiencing difficulties with early literacy skills.
Both my children went to local schools before university and now 2 of my grandchildren are at
school in Reigate."
